Professor Jim Gash is a Professor of Law at Pepperdine University School of Law in his sixteenth year of teaching. Jim graduated first in his class at Pepperdine in 1993 and was the Editor-in-Chief of the Pepperdine Law Review, and graduated summa cum laude from Abilene Christian University in 1989. He now serves as the Director of the Global Justice Program in Pepperdine’s Nootbaar Institute for Law, Religion, and Ethics. In 2010, Jim began traveling periodically to Uganda to help imprisoned juveniles who were waiting for their day in court. During that first trip, Jim met a special young prisoner named Henry and they formed a deep friendship that is chronicled in Divine Collision. Over the next six years, Professor Gash returned to Uganda sixteen times to help other juvenile and adult prisoners secure access to justice. At the invitation of the Chief Justice of Uganda, Professor Gash became a Specialist Advisor to the High Court in January of 2012 and moved his family to Uganda for six months. Over the course of those six months, he designed and helped implement a juvenile justice structure that seeks to ensure Ugandan children will never again be forgotten by the judicial system. In March of 2013, Jim became the first American ever to argue a case in the Ugandan Court of Appeals when he represented Henry. In recognition of his ongoing work in Uganda, Professor Gash received the 2013 Warren Christopher Award, which is presented to California’s International Lawyer of the Year.
